6. Sharia Law

7. Article from the Charlotte Observer March 2, 2017 To clarify, Sharia consists of rules for individual Muslims, and Muslim societies to follow. They are derived from the Quran and the Sunnah/Hadith (the sayings and examples of Prophet Muhammad). The rules range from how a Muslim prays, to rules for marriage, business and how to deal with crime; all of which should only apply to Muslims. https://www.charlotteobserver.com/living/religion/article136083788.html

8. Why does the Quran say that infidels should be killed? The verse of the Holy Quran is often mentioned to malign Islam. The verse does not say infidels it says idolaters. (9:5) And when the forbidden months have passed, kill the idolaters wherever you find them and take them prisoners, and beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they repent and observe Prayer and pay the Zakat, then leave their way free. Surely, Allah is Most Forgiving, Merciful. https://www.alislam.org/library/articles/why-does-the-quran-say-that-infidels-should-be-killed/
